    Sonny Jurgenson for Norm Snead. Sucked. Donovan for nobody. Sucks more.

    If the finish of last season was any indicator the Eagles are no longer contenders. Why keep McNabb? Time to move on. Not to make this trade only delays the inevitable one more season. Great move

    I'm not at all suprised, but trading him to Washington is very much a suprise. This has become an epically stupid organization. Frustrated at their continued failures to win a SB, they've jumped off a cliff. Reid has killed this team.....I'm done after 45 years.

    Can somebody tell me what McNabb did, particularly at the end of last season that should give anyone reason to be scared of the Redskins?

    Remember boys- McNabb is an old man and Kolb is just entering his prime. McNabb also spent too much time injured on the bench.

    They traded him to the Redskins out of respect. Its was either the Skins or the Raiders. At least they did that for McNabb. I give Reid credit in that regard

    UNBELIEVABLE!! This is one of the worst trades ever. To all of those idiot Eagles fans who have been trying to drive McNabb out of town for years I have this to say- Be careful what you wish for. I have no idea what the hell these people see in Kolb. He has a weak arm and has shown no indication that he can be a great quarterback in this league. These same fans better expect a major step backwards this year. I am terribly worried at the demoralization this could cause to all of the young talent that the team now has. To trade him within the division is beyond stupid. If they are any better than 6-10 next year I will be stunned.

    Growing up a Broncos fan..1993 some idiot fans were putting John Elway down instead of the Idiot, but good Coach/G.M. Dan Reaves who had led the team to 3 AFC championships.. The owner was smart enough to fire the good coach and hire a great coach(Mike Shanahan). The Broncos and Elway went on to win 2 Straight Superbowls. Mike Shanahan is a genuis on offense and his offenses have always been in the tops in the league. The Eagles Defensive co-ordinator still hasnt proved his good..

    McNabb was the least of the problems for a team that got beat by the Cowboys THREE times last year. If they don't fix that defense, 6-10 is a dream. They were getting beat up physically. Yes, I'm a fan.

    jogro, do u really believe the eagles are gonna be better than 6-10 with Mcnabb? Even if you do, do you believe they can contend for SB? They are on the downside, not the upside. Its time to move on. What do u know about Kolb? Are u at practices, film study? You say idiot eagles fans for "driving Mcnabb out of town" yet you have given Kolb 2 starts (which he threw for 300+yards with his weak arm) before you are running him out of town...and we are the idiots?

    I SAID IT BEFORE,..THE EAGLES HAVENT WON A SUPERBOWL BECAUSE OF ANDY REID AND MANAGEMENT. JUST LIKE THE BRONCOS THEY WENT YEARS WITHOUT GIVING HIM OFFENSIVE WEAPONS AND YEARS WITH CALLING AN UNBALANCED OFFENSE(50 PASSES IN A GAME? U KIDDING ME? YOU DONT MISS WHAT YOU HAD UNTIL ITS GONE. AND MIKE SHANAHAN and MCNABB WILL KILL THE EAGLES..I LIKE THE EAGLES..BUT POOR EAGLES...

    This would have been a good move if he went to the Raiders or a team out of the division. Now he will make the Eagles pay twice a year. This was a horrible decision and one the Eagles will regret.

    1 - the eagles have "seagulled" the phillies opening day. 2 - can we trade WIP to DC for a decent new wave station?
